He shot Will Smith into
outer space to take out the bad guys in Independence Day, but now
gay director Roland Emmerich plans to explore inner space with a remake of
the sci-fi classic Fantastic Voyage.
The original - perhaps best remembered for Raquel Welch's tight white
wetsuit -
had
five scientists getting shrunk down to microscopic size and injected into
a dying diplomat's bloodstream to perform a life-saving maneuver that no
surgeon could successfully attempt.
While the 1967 original won Oscars for its visual effects and art
direction - and sending a tiny submarine into a human heart was indeed
pretty cool - this is definitely one of those movies that could benefit
from contemporary effects magic.
Get ready to dodge white blood cells when this Voyage launches in
2010.
